Figure 1

Phylogenetic trees of B. miyamotoi genotypes based on the partial sequences of A) 16S rRNA (GenBank accession numbers of the French data from KJ412189 to KJ412199), B) glpQ (GenBank accession numbers the French data from KJ425352 to KJ425363) and C) p66 genes (GenBank accession numbers the French data from KJ425364 to KJ425374). Phylogenetic analysis for each of the three genes was performed via the neighbor-joining method and a Kimura 2-parameter distance. Bootstrap analysis was performed on 1,000 replicates. Trees were rooted with Borrelia turicatae and Borrelia ionestari (not shown). Numbers beside branches indicate bootstrap values. Abbreviations: I. for Ixodes, and M. for Myodes. Scale bars indicate Jukes-Cantor evolutionary distances. Samples sequenced in the present study are marked with _*.
